SCHED_E_ACCOUNT_INFORMATION_NOT_SET
SCHED_E_ACCOUNT_INFORMATION_NOT_SET means that Task Scheduler cannot find account information for the indicated task in its security database. This is about the task’s stored execution identity; it does not by itself say that the account name is misspelled or that the task action is inaccessible.
What to compare
- The principal stored in the registered task, the credentials supplied to the registration call, and the effective logon type.
- Whether a deployment replaced a task definition without providing the account information required by that logon method.
- Whether the task is an older compatibility-mode task whose account data needs to be recreated through a supported registration flow.
Correct recovery
Re-register or update the task with the intended principal and an explicitly compatible logon type, then verify the task under the same account context in which it will run. Preserve the original XML and security settings for investigation rather than deleting the task before the mismatch is understood.
